Liu Huanrong
Taiwan province’s gangs are illegal, but they are deeply rooted, and with the influence of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, most people know Zhulian gang.
But everyone may not know - Liu Huanrong .
He is the cold-faced killer of the Bamboo Union Gang.
In the dark age, he once publicly killed people in places where gangsters gathered, his methods were cruel, and he often cheated on others when doing things. He was listed by the police as "Top Ten Most Wanted Criminals in Taiwan Province".
However, Liu Huanrong did many good deeds during his lifetime.
He is the big boss who donated the most money in his own name in the history of Taiwanese gangsters. In 1984, there was a serious Haishan coal mine explosion in Taiwan, and he immediately donated one million to the families of the victims.
Later, when he was fleeing, he robbed the casino and saw a dilapidated orphanage in Wufeng Township, Taichung County. He casually threw a bag of money into it. Many years later, he died, but there were still people because of him. Thank you for your generous donation.
Some people say that he is setting up a person to win sympathy. The 20 officials who interceded for him all took his money.
However, Liu Huanrong said, I deserve what I have done to get to where I am today, and I did not do these things to survive.
I am sorry for the country and society.
's last public interview before his death
He wrote his death row diary while in prison.
The six notebooks are eloquently full of gangster elegy, recording his regrets and the days when he is waiting for the judgment.
He wrote books with a brush, and he also painted to calm his mind, put down the butcher knife, and Guan Gong in his pen did not hold a big knife, and his brushstrokes were delicate.
The prison authorities also helped him hold an art exhibition, 43 works were created, and all proceeds from the sale were donated to charity by Liu Huanrong. Before
was shot, his younger brothers lined up in a long line, but he didn't want the later younger brothers to regard him as a "hero", he said—
" I am not a hero, there are no heroes in the underworld, only the police have heroes. In the car burning incident in the Healthy Kindergarten, the teacher Lin Jingjuan who was desperate to save others and died is the real hero "
A mistake will cause eternal hatred, and looking back, it has been a hundred years.
How did Liu Huanrong grow from a commoner to a killer and then to a confessor? Let us review his life.
Liu Huanrong who walked into the shooting range
In 1957, Liu Huanrong was born in the eighth village of Luguang, a military dependent village in Beitun District, Taichung City.
He is the youngest son in the family, and his father is a lieutenant colonel. After withdrawing to Taiwan with the army, his life was not as easy as promised.
's family is very poor, Liu Huanrong and his family set up a street stall outside to sell fruits, which is hygienic. Therefore, in high school, Liu Huanrong joined underworld organizations such as the "Beitun Circle Gang" and the "Little Plum Blossom Gang". The
book will not be read. Follow the brothers all day long, go to the streets to collect protection fees, do things for others, and support the scene when they fight.
The bad road Liu Huanrong embarked on is the epitome of that dark age, but in fact, he also has an ideal side.
Young Liu Huanrong
He once met a primary school student near Beitun Circle.
A group of people were besieging and beating him. Liu Huanrong didn't like it, so he went up to help him out, and became good friends with Zhang Ming, who was 11 years apart.
Liu Huanrong recalled in prison that when he saw Zhang Ming being bullied, he thought of himself who was bullied back then, but he didn’t want Zhang Ming to follow the same path as him, so he encouraged Zhang Ming to study hard and not take the wrong path , and Zhang Ming did study hard all the time, and got a postgraduate degree.
But, the softness in his heart is only one side of him, on the other side of , he is a bastard, fighting, fighting, and doing all kinds of evil.
In 1974, Liu Huanrong followed a group of younger brothers. When he was collecting protection fees in a casino, he met the police and beat the police into death in order to escape.He was seriously injured and wanted by the police.
This became the beginning of a turning point in his fate.
Young Liu Huanrong
After injuring the police, Liu Huanrong planned to run away.
's father told him to stay at home and not run around. However, what he didn't expect was that he was sleeping at home.
vaguely heard his father talking to someone outside the house. He looked out the window and saw that it was the police. His father called the police to arrest him.
He tried to escape, but it was too late.
Afterwards, Liu Huanrong was sent to the juvenile detention center and locked up for 4 months. He was very angry, until one day, when he saw his father's white hair when he left the prison, he knew the greatness of his parents. After leaving the juvenile prison, he was determined to return to the right path.
So, he went back to school. That year, he was 17 years old . On the eve of
graduation, when the teacher asked everyone if they wanted to apply for the military academy after graduation, Liu Huanrong raised his hand. He wanted to inherit his father's mission and didn't want to let his father down again. However, his enthusiasm was extinguished by the teacher: " Liu Huanrong, you can't, Put your hands down ."
In the end, Liu Huanrong applied to the military academy, but because of his gang background and criminal record, he failed the political review and was sent back.
He is very disappointed : A person with a criminal record must not be forgiven by the society, white cloth is stained with black spots, which cannot be washed off for a lifetime.
But what disappointed him even more was that
that year, Taiwan was under martial law.
In order to maintain social order, the " Inspection and Elimination of Hooligans Regulations" was set up. As long as the police think you have "hooligan behavior", you can report for discipline without trial. That is to say, as long as the police say you are a hooligan, you will be punished. To be arrested and locked up.
Even if you have not been sentenced by the court for a crime at all, of course, such cases of being arrested without committing a crime rarely happen. Report to hooligan management training.
Liu Huanrong injured the police and was imprisoned for 4 months. He was on the "meritorious list" and was constantly intimidated and bullied.
Liu Huanrong was full of resentment and helplessness, but his father kept admonishing him until his father passed away, and his mother couldn't discipline him. He found a friend from the past, resumed his old job, and decided that if he wanted to mess around, he would be more vicious and ruthless than others.
a black go to the end.
In November 1979, Liu Huanrong clashed with the Fengyuan "Seventeen Sabers" gang because of a casino dispute. Liu Huanrong, who was chased by a group of people, was chased to a fruit stand. Then
picked up the watermelon knife on the stall and killed the hostile boss "Chicken Mother". Because it was a gangster fight, the foundation was not clean, and no one called the police. If people die, they die. After the death of the boss of "Seventeen Sabers", Liu Huanrong established his prestige.
In 1981, Liu Huanrong became famous in Taiwan because of the interests of the casino. And because of this, the Bamboo Union Gang also took a fancy to him.
The Bamboo Union Gang is expanding its territory and adopting a development model of building multiple churches. The first established branch church "Loyalty Hall" head Dong Guisen is a fellow villager with Liu Huanrong. Dong Guisen took a fancy to this little fellow from the same town and decided to admit him into the club.
Later, Dong Guisen took Liu Huanrong to the north to develop, and participated in the show dispute negotiation of the sensational "Frog Prince" Gao Lingfeng. At that time, because of the issue of Gao Lingfeng's schedule, the coaches in the south gathered together and went north to negotiate with the Zhulian Gang.
This is also the first time that Liu Huanrong participated in so many boss gatherings. At that time, he was just a pony boy, but soon everyone would know his name. Therefore, he was courageous enough and calm in doing things. Bamboo Union helped him Seen as seed killer .
And Liu Huanrong's first task in the Bamboo Union Gang was to kill Liao Longhui, the boss of the "Dahu Gang". .
Liao Longhui was the earliest boss of the Great Lakes Gang. He used to be in power for a while. He controlled the casinos, weathered areas and hotels in Taichung, and made good friends with all walks of life in the local area. He was even known as the "underground secretary general" of Taichung City in the world. A big tree must attract wind. Although Liao Longhui has many friends, he also has many enemies.
Many gang coaches have tried to kill him over the years, but none have ever succeeded. The main reason is that Liao Longhui's actions are extremely secretive. He often arranges many doubles to wear the same clothes as him, and then act separately to confuse the enemy's eyes and ears.
But this time the person he met was named Liu Huanrong. In order to complete the task, Liu Huanrong patiently followed the prisoner Liao Longhui for three months.
On October 23, 1983, Liao Longhui was shot and killed by Liu Huanrong, who was ambushing him in the third section of Sanmin Road, Taichung City.
6 years later, Chow Yun-fatThe cold-faced killer played by in "The Bloody Two Heroes" was based on Liu Huanrong of the Bamboo Union Gang.
After Liao Longhui's death, Liu Huanrong became famous and became the deacon of the Zhongtang of the Zhulian Gang, but what made him famous also said that he took over two things: within a year, he killed the boss of the Dashulin Gang Yang Bofeng and Hsinchu Yishan helped Zhang Deyi.
Liu Huanrong is scary.
It was 1984. A family of a mafia boss in Taipei was having a funeral. On the day of the funeral, all the coaches and bosses gathered. Just as everyone was about to leave, Liu Huanrong suddenly shot and killed Yang Baifeng from behind. He had spotted Yang Baifeng during the banquet. After
killed Yang Baifeng, Yang Baifeng was surrounded by a group of people, but he ignored everyone's eyes, turned around and was about to leave, but he suddenly wanted to confirm whether Yang Baifeng really died, so he turned around and passed through the bosses, walking back to Yang Baifeng Look around.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Four more shots in a row, Yang Baifeng was killed on the spot, and then Liu Huanrong nodded and left.
The people present were stunned and scolded in their hearts, but no one dared to question, who knows if this red-eyed person would also shoot at himself because of an upset. Of course, profit comes first, and Yang Bofeng's death is a good thing for many people.
After Yang Baifeng's death, Liu Huanrong became a celebrity, and many gang leaders paid a lot of money to hire him, hoping to use Liu Huanrong's hand to get rid of his deadly enemy. Therefore, shortly after the death of Yang Baifeng of the Dashulin Gang, Hong Guohua of the "Fengfeisha Gang" in Hsinchu invited Liu Huanrong to get rid of Zhang Deyi, the head of the "Yishan Gang" who was fighting for territory with the Fengfeisha Gang, and Liu Huanrong received the commission.
In April 1984, Zhang Deyi was "blocked" in broad daylight. The two put Zhang Qiang in a vehicle and took him to the Hukou Cemetery in Hsinchu, where they shot him dead, and then dumped the body at the scene.
He is very cruel, and he does not shy away from whether there are other people at the scene. Such arrogant behavior is of course regarded as a thorn in the side of the police. The police station included Liu Huanrong in the list of "Ten Shooting Criminals". They vowed to arrest him case.
The police pursuit made Liu Huanrong feel the pressure. He found that the police arrived just as he left where he appeared.
He suspected that there was a traitor around him.
Many conclusions speculate that the traitor is his partner You Guolin, but Liu Huanrong doesn't believe it, he wants to test it.
Liu Huanrong’s painting in prison
Liu Huanrong bought a new Ford Maxima and lent it to You Guolin. Going to pick up the car, Liu Huanrong took this opportunity to observe.
Liu Huanrong arrived near the parking lot beforehand, and
hid in the dark to peek. Not long after, I saw You Guolin driving up. After
parked the car, he waited for Liu Huanrong at the scene.
But Liu Huanrong did not appear for a long time. Liu Huanrong made up his mind not to show up this day, and he had to watch what would happen. After a while, many criminal policemen suddenly appeared around Liu Huanrong's car, and it turned out that they had been ambushing here for a long time.
just couldn't wait for Liu Huanrong, so he had to withdraw the team and leave the scene. Only then did Liu Huanrong confirm that You Guolin had reported the secret to the police.
Liu Huanrong had made up his mind, but he couldn't bear the anger in his heart. A week later, he killed his partner You Guolin at the Hongmen Banquet.
In just over a year, Liu Huanrong killed Liao Longhui, Yang Bofeng, Zhang Deyi, and You Guolin. Each of these murdered people was a well-known gangster brother.
Many gangs regarded him as an enemy and said they would come to seek revenge, but no one dared to act. On the one hand, they knew that Liu Huanrong was ruthless, on the other hand, Liu Huanrong was a member of the Zhulian Gang and Chen Qili's personal bodyguard.
Chen Qili is the first assistant of the Bamboo Union Gang, and also the spiritual leader. If anyone really kills Liu Huanrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
So, in 1984, Liu Huanrong killed so many people and became famous in the underworld and the white world, but for the entire underworld, this year was not stable. On October 15, 1984, a famous international case "Jiangnan Case" occurred in Taiwan.
The United States The FBI found out that the Jiangnan case involved the members of the Bamboo Union Gang. November 12, 1984, Taiwan Province " Yiqing Project" sweeps across the province. Overnight, more than 50 gang bosses were imprisoned, hundreds of gang cadres were imprisoned, and more than 3,000 gangsters were imprisoned. Those who were arrested were arrested, and Liu Huanrong was naturally also arrested.
However, he was fast and fled to the Philippines long ago.
It's not easy being on the run. At that time, there was a brother, Chen Nanguang and Chen Zhengchang, who were in the steel business, owed a lot of debts, and fled to the Philippines. They thought that there were no creditors in the Philippines to pursue their debts, but they did not expect to attract gangsters to covet them.
The Qi Ruisheng brothers, who also fled to the Philippines at the time, found other Zhulian gangs including Liu Huanrong to join them. They originally planned to let the Chen brothers "vomit" some money, but they didn't expect it. Inspired by
interests, the Qi Ruisheng brothers and others directly committed a massacre in order to search for the family property of the Chen brothers, killing 2 couples and 5 children. Fortunately, 2 of them died later. He survived the rescue.
This case of extermination touched Liu Huanrong a lot.
The Philippines couldn't stay any longer, Liu Huanrong fled to Japan again, and got mixed up in Japan. On January 26, 1986, Liu Huanrong was arrested by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in Japan for being involved in a drug trafficking case. In March, he was escorted back to Taiwan for trial and locked up at the headquarters.
This time, Liu Huanrong knew that he was bound to die.
Liu Huanrong, who was escorted back to Taiwan Province,
He has only one wish, he wants to visit his mother before he dies, he has been on the run for so many years, has no face to see his mother, and has never shown filial piety.
The police agreed to him, and took his mother to the detention center. Liu Huanrong knelt down when he saw his mother: "I'm sorry, Mom, I will repay you in my next life, and I will never go on this dead end again. Be filial to you"
After meeting his mother, Liu Huanrong explained all the crimes he committed, except for the case of extermination in the Philippines. He only admitted to being involved in the case, but denied that he had committed any murder. He said that it is common for Jianghu brothers to be killed, and it is normal for them to repay their grievances, but this is the only thing he did wrong, and he is willing to cooperate and tell the whole story of the incident.
Because the multiple homicide cases committed by Liu Huanrong were independently tried by different courts at that time, each of his cases was sentenced to life imprisonment, but this aroused dissatisfaction from the families of the victims, and the outside world also questioned why the death penalty was not imposed?
Therefore, after the joint trial, Liu Huanrong was sentenced to death for the first time in January 1991. After appealing again, it was not until March 5, 1993 that the Supreme Court pronounced the death sentence and executed it.
Although, he has changed a bit, and he values loyalty, and the people he kills are all underworld elements, and he never kills innocent people indiscriminately, but he kills people after all, treating human life like nothing, with cruel methods and merciless methods. Before the execution, he smoked two cigarettes and had two glasses of wine.
This is his last supper on earth.
Early morning, forty-four minutes. The top floor of the building opposite the
detention center was crowded with various media outlets and many men in black. Everyone came to witness the killer's last scene. The difference is that the reporters took cannon cameras and video cameras, while the brothers in black each held a stick of fragrance.
Many murderers entered the execution ground, earlyHe was already trembling and unable to walk, but Liu Huanrong looked calm, and he didn't need support. The turmoil in the world for so many years had already made him look down on life and death.
is approaching a place that cannot be photographed. When
saw him at the last moment.
He stopped suddenly, raised his fists and cheered,
" I'm sorry, thank you all !" A generation of gangsters, just like that, came to an end at the age of 36. After
died, he left his last contribution to the society -
donated his own organs.
Liu Huanrong wrote this in his diary
, and suddenly understood what Chow Yun-fat
said in "Blood Heroes": "We are no longer suitable for this world, because we are too nostalgic!".
In fact, what people nostalgia for is not those years of fighting in the rivers and lakes, nor the violence and bloody fighting with weapons. What we nostalgia for is actually the warmth and kindness of human nature, and what we nostalgia for is tenderness and wind.
He is a real man, courageous, responsible, soft-hearted, able to afford it, but also let it go, there is still a warm "heart" under his indifferent appearance, just as the judge said.
The money he donated was obtained illegally through violence after all.
The money he does good deeds comes from his bloody hands.
He killed people with cruel methods. He had no way out after entering the underworld, and he lived like a shell, which was not his true way of life. Everything about
's fate has already been marked with a price.
It's just, sometimes, I'm thinking too.
If the society hadn’t been so chaotic back then,
If the teacher asked in class who wanted to be admitted to the military academy, don’t ask Liu Huanrong to let go, and tell him that there are many paths in life, give him encouragement and support, and let him go right way.
If Liu Huanrong had successfully entered the barracks back then, with his ability, would he have had a great time in the barracks?
If Liu Huanrong had received more tolerance and support back then, would his ending be different?
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in life.
I stumbled for a moment and regretted through the ages, and then I looked back at the century-old body.
Telling Liu Huanrong's story is not to praise him.
He killed someone, this is his sin, he doesn't deserve to be forgiven.
However, Liu Huanrong's choices and crimes are also the epitome of that dark age, and many people went straight to sin in the dark.
Liu Huanrong's life is regrettable, his life is a dramatic tragedy, and what we have to work hard is to avoid more Liu Huanrong and avoid more tragedies.
Suddenly remembered Zhou Xingchi in "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" classic confrontation, the emperor was worried that the beggar gang was too powerful, and would be worried all day long if it was not disbanded, but Zhou Xingchi said: How many children does the beggar gang have? It is up to him to decide, but up to you, if you are really wise and powerful, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, the devil will be willing to be a beggar .
Genius and madman, just a thought. The
people are engulfed by the torrent of history. Liu Huanrong's fate is his destiny, and it is also the same person as Elegy. An era creates a hero, and a different era will create a madman.
What we have to do is to make the times better, let everyone embrace tomorrow and hope, and avoid more tragic lives.
